Listed as a group 301-302 located on the south western side of London Road on a raised pavement level.

Forms part of a terrace of C19th buildings located on the south western side of London Road on a raised pavement which is separated from the busy London Road below by a possibly original iron railing. This building is in an exposed brown brick and forms a symmetrical pair with its south western neighbour with which it shares several architectural features. The door is located on the north western side of the façade, abutting the north western party wall. It is raised from the pavement level and is accessed via a set six paved steps. A low brick wall is located on the north western side of these steps, separating the front garden area of this property from that of its north western neighbour. An original iron balustrade is located on the south eastern side of the steps, this continues to the south to form area railings in front of the basement. The door is round headed with a semi circular window within the arch above the transom over the door. Decorative columns are located on either side of the door supporting a decorative cornice beneath the fanlight. There are two windows on the southern side of the door at the ground floor level. Both are round headed and set within slight recesses within the brickwork. A rendered and painted string course is located near the top of the ground floor, aligning with the base of the arches over both windows and the door, this continues onto the neighbouring building to the south east,. There are three windows at the first and second floor levels, all aligning with the openings on the ground floor and have flat gauged brick arches above. An original and highly decorative cast iron balcony with Greek Key design is located in front of all of the first floor windows, this also continues onto the first floor of the south eastern building. A rendered and painted parapet rises over the second floor, there is a raised area to this parapet located centrally between this building and its southern neighbour with a ‘CHARLTON PLACE’ sign within, integral to the plaster, a small amount of vegetation growth is attached to this. A modern three storey extension has been inserted within a narrow gap between this building and its north western neighbour, this is slightly recessed from the man façade and is glazed across all floors. The basement level was not clearly seen but is in a painted (white) brick with at least one window. A few modern features are attached to the façade, including a satellite dish at the parapet level with its associated wiring running down the façade to the base of the ground floor. The small and slightly overgrown front garden area is raised from the pavement level, a low brick wall is located at the point where it meets the street level with a cast iron railing over this wall and separating this front garden area of the south eastern neighbour. This railing is likely modern but is in-keeping with the style and age of the building. Overall this is an attractive and fairly well kept building with a number of surviving original features and which appears to be structurally sound.

The ground floor door, which is located on the north western side of the façade, is highly decorative and original in timber painted black. There is a semi-circular window located above the transom over the door, this is likely a later insertion and consists of a single pane in a timber frame. The two ground floor windows are round headed, both are timber framed sashes and are a likely later C19th insertions divided into five large rectangular panes by timber glazing bars. There are six windows across the first and second floors (three per floor) all are original timber frames sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The first floor windows are taller than the second floor windows, though are the same width on both floors. (all are three wide, first floor are five high while second floor are four high). There is a large modern flat roofed dormer at the roof level, this has a modern plastic frame. The basement level openings were not visible from the road. All of the openings within the modern extension on the north western side of this building have plastic frames. All windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is mansard and in slate with metallic flashing over the join between the angle, the upper part may be in concrete tiles, but this was not clearly seen. A tall rendered stack is located over the south eastern part wall with a tall aerial attached to it. The roof over the modern extension to the north west is in concrete tiles. Both appear to be in a good condition, though only a small part was visible from the road. (1)
